Lacey Chabert and Dustin Milligan Heat Up Netflix in New Holiday Rom-Com Hot Frosty – A Love Story You Can’t Miss
November 13, Netflix will be streaming a new Christmas romantic comedy, Hot Frosty, starring Mean Girls star Lacey Chabert and Schitt’s Creek star Dustin Milligan. The director, Jerry Ciccoritti, brings the streaming service a heart-felt movie just in time for the Holiday season.
The story follows a widow named Kathy (Chabert) who is down on her luck and has a rough go at life after losing her husband. She uses a magical scarf to bring a handsome snowman, Jack (Milligan), to life, and the two of them grow a love connection while also preventing him from melting away.
The Hallmark movie also includes Joe Lo Truglio Craig Robinson, Katy Mixon Greer, Lauren Holly, Chrishell Stause, Sherry Miller, Dan Lett, Matthew Stefiuk, Heleene Lohan Cameron, Allan Royal, Sarah Desouza-Coelho and Bobby Daniels.
The trailer gives viewers a taste of what to expect from the film, with Kathy telling the Michaelangelo’s David look-alike snowman, “Clearly you’ve been doing push-ups.” In Frosty the Snowman fashion, she places the magical scarf around him, bringing him to life.
In an interview, Chabert teased the film, stating “this romance definitely has some challenges that they’ll both have to overcome.” The actress continues on, emphasizing that “Jack’s childlike, playful quality and excitement of being alive really brings out Kathy’s playfulness and really reminds her about what she loves about the holidays. It reminds her of what it is to just connect with someone and reminds her that she needs to put herself back on the list of things that are priorities.”
When discussing his preparation for this role, Milligan mentioned watching the 2003 film Elf, and other classic comedies to hone in on “naive dumb-dumbs.” “In order to do a character like Jack justice, I had to let go in a way I’ve never done before and just be fully physically liberated in every single scene, which simultaneously challenged the discomfort that being so exposed brought and allowed the pure joy I was feeling shine through — I hope!” Milligan stated.
Netflix plans to release every Wednesday in November as part of their holiday film slate. Meet Me Next Christmas is scheduled to be released on November 6, and Our Little Secret will debut on November 27, starring actress Lindsey Lohan.
